The New York Cosmos battled to a 2-2 draw against Forward Madison FC at Hinchliffe Stadium on Matchday 6. Forward Madison struck first in the 22nd minute with an Olimpico goal from Geni Kanyane. In the 32nd minute, Kanyane was shown a red card while breaking up a Cosmos attack, forcing Madison to play with ten men. Despite the disadvantage, Madison doubled their lead just two minutes later through a long-range effort from Ryan Carmichael, putting the Cosmos down 2-0.

The Cosmos responded in the second half with urgency. Ajmeer Spengler pulled one back in the 40th minute to shift momentum. Sebastián Guenzatti followed with the equalizer in the 50th minute to complete the comeback. The Cosmos pushed for three points, but the score held at 2-2. A resilient performance earned a point at home.
